My Project
Our STEM program for grades 3-5 is focused on fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving by integrating technology into hands-on learning experiences. We need filament and tools for our 3D printer to bring students' ideas to life.
With the 3D filament, students will use design software to create meaningful projects combining innovation and real-world applications.
For example, students will design personalized keychains with their names, create functional door stops to solve the issue of classroom doors that won’t stay open, and enhance science lessons by constructing 3D models of the butterfly life cycle with labeled examples for display and learning. These projects will develop students’ technical and design skills and inspire them to see the impact of their creativity in both their classroom and community.
With your support, we can provide the tools to turn their imaginative ideas into reality!
